JAKARTA - Rumors about PS6 and its performance have been circulating for at least a few months, and most recently focused on what was reported as improving its ray tracing performance over PS5, Sony's current generation console.

Specific rumors about ray tracing performance have indeed appeared before. However, the details now come from what is said to be a complete leaked specification. Keep in mind that there are still years before the launch of PS6. Even so, these details may change considering how much time is left between now and when Sony officially releases the next PlayStation console.

Based on the latest rumors from Moore's Law is Dead on YouTube, PS6 seems to be a very strong console. Many factors will contribute to this, but one of the factors is the improvement made by Sony and AMD over PS6's ray tracing performance.

Originally rumored to be about 5x 10x better than the basic PS5, Moore's Law is Dead now believes that it will be slightly higher. Specifically, the performance of ray tracing on PS6 should be 6x 12x better than PS5.

It's hard to imagine what it will look like. Or whether performance will really increase that much. The important thing is that improving the performance of ray tracing is not the only thing that needs to be improved so that the overall performance of PS6 is significantly above PS5.

Ray tracing performance is just one of many parts to be improved on PS6 Ray tracing has been the word hot buzzword in the game over the past few years. Better ray tracing performance is an easy sticker that can be attached to marketing to attract the attention of many gamers. And even though the performance of better ray tracing is not the only thing to see.

PS6 will definitely have a lot of technical jumps driving it noticeably beyond PS5 capabilities. For example, rumors suggest that APU PS6 will provide lower power consumption. That doesn't necessarily mean better graphics or anything else. However, it should make the console use less energy. And that's not a bad thing.

It is also rumored that Sony can use 30GB or 40GB RAM for the console. In comparison, PS5 has 16GB RAM. The PS5 Pro has 1GB RAM. So, this will be a visible improvement.
